The Ayodhya Ram Mandir

The splendour, the sense of pride, and the profound emotional resonance experienced by every Hindu—my gaze fixed on the television, eagerly witnessing the live consecration ceremony of Shri Lord Ram.


 Jai Shri Ram

The Ayodhya Ram Mandir issue is a long-standing and complex dispute in India, centred around the city of Ayodhya in the state of Uttar Pradesh. At the heart of the controversy is the Babri Masjid, a mosque built in the 16th century by Mughal Emperor Babur, and the belief that the mosque was constructed on the birthplace of Lord Ram.


 

 

 

 

Historical Background: The origins of the dispute trace back to the Mughal era when the Babri Masjid was built in Ayodhya. Over the centuries, various claims and counterclaims regarding the religious significance of the site emerged, leading to tensions between Hindu and Muslim communities.


The Demolition: On December 6, 1992, the Babri Masjid was demolished by a large crowd of Hindu activists, leading to widespread communal tensions and riots across India. The event had profound socio-political implications, shaping the course of Indian politics for years to come.


Legal Battles: The legal battle over the ownership of the disputed site intensified after the demolition. Various court cases followed, with the Supreme Court of India taking up the matter for adjudication. The apex court's judgment in November 2019 paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple at the site, while also allocating an alternative plot for the construction of a mosque.


Post the Supreme Court verdict, the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya commenced. The project has garnered national attention, reflecting the socio-religious sentiments associated with the site, Today 22nd January 2024 marks a day of immense joy for the entire nation.


The Ayodhya Ram Mandir issue remains a significant aspect of India's socio-political landscape, reflecting the intricate interplay of history, religion, and law. The construction of the Ram Mandir marks a historic development in the region, shaping narratives and fostering discussions on the coexistence of diverse religious communities in India.

Indian Courts and the Summer Vacation: A Need for Reform in Modern Times

-
Image
Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice. The majority of them were British judges  and  they could not bear the heat of the Indian summer. Hence,  a long vacation was introduced  so they could go back to England or other hill stations in India that offered cooler climates.  This practice was followed  i
